TOLEDO, July 2s.-The following is the platform:
The republican party In convention assembled
submits to the people Of Ohio the following
declaration OF its principles:
l. We are in favor OF protective tariff to secure
to American citizens the privilege of supplying
every article which can be produced well in the
United States as in other countries and Suffict-
emily to supply American wants. Such a tariff
makes demand for and gives employment to the
labor of American citizens, and thereby aids in
securing just compensation for Labor We denOunce
the Ohio democratic platform OF a tariff for reve-
nue. only, and which demands an 1ndiscriminate
reduction in all duties on imported articles, the
effect of which would be to encourage impOrta-
tions, thus giving American patronage to foreign
producers and foreign labor, rather than 10 our
own.
2. While we adhere to the public policy under
bodies Of honest, industrious citizens who have
country, and while we welcome to our shores the
well-diSpOsed and Industrious emigrant, who con-
tributes by his energy and Intelligence to the
cause Of free government, we view with alarm
unrestricted emigration from foreign lands
der OF the country and the integrity and
character Of its citizenship. We urge Congress to
shall protect from the inroad OF the anarchist,
the communist, the polygamist fugitives from
justice, the insane the dependent Pa9per the VI
form, under any name or guise, and all others who
seek our shores, not TO become part OF our civi-
zation and citizenship, who acknowledge no allie
glance to our laws, no sympathy with our aims and
Institutions, but who come among US to make war
upon society, to diminish The dignity and rewards
OF American WOrkingmen and degrade our labor
TO their level Against all these our gates should
be closed But whil6 favoring every honorable and
against the evil eects OF foreign Immigration and
competition, we recognize also the dangers
which menace 1t at home and condemn as
hostile to its cause and as subversive
OF its dignity and power, the bold and persistent
usurpation In many OF the States OF Its political
